Trump's Election Could Unlock Arms Delivery To Israel Even Before He Takes Office

The blockage of arms shipments that the United States provides to Israel may soon end, according to an American source, the Israeli channel reported on Friday Can. According to the source, there is a possibility of unblocking the weapons, provided that the Trump administration makes the decision itself.

The United States Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lowe, said Thursday evening Can that weapons deliveries were currently delayed due to “disagreement over the method of use and a gap in the strategic concept between Israel and Washington.” That's an argument made by many U.S. officials in discussions about whether the arms embargo policy should be changed. Since the American presidential election, another argument has been heard: the Trump administration will unblock arms deliveries as soon as it enters the White House, so this blockage is no longer relevant.

In recent days, the director general of the Israeli Defense Ministry, Eyal Zamir, visited the United States where he also raised the issue with American officials. Washington is still preventing the arrival of one-ton bombs and D9-type weapons. As mentioned, the administration is still debating the issue, but there are preliminary signs that blocked arms shipments will reach Israel before Trump even enters the Oval Office.
